Reason for sticking to USB Type-C wired earphones now, now in the wireless heyday

Sony's "WF-1000XM3" hits, and Apple has launched "AirPods Pro", and the popularity of wireless earphones seems to be growing rapidly.However, I do not look at such wireless earphones and use wired earphones.

Even so, there is no particular commitment to sound quality, but the reason why we are particular about wired is for long -distance flights.Actually, I am not good at airplanes and cannot sleep in seats unless I am quite tired, so when I am on a long -distance flight on an overseas business trip, I have almost noise canceling earphones to prevent noise.I listen to it, and sometimes I am patient because I do not make a sound.

Certainly, recent wireless earphones have a significant increase in battery use time, but still more than 10 hours of flights require charging on the way, and they have time unusable.From such a thing, we are particular about wired earphones that do not need to be charged.

Recently, the number of models without earphone terminals on smartphones has increased, so the iPhone used a pioneer "Rayz Plus" that can be directly connected to the Lightning terminal.However, Rayz Plus cannot be used because the "Huawei P30", which I started using this summer, has no Lightning terminal.

Of course, HUAWEI P30 has an earphone terminal, so you can use a normal wired earphone, but there is a situation that does not.Because long -distance flights often use tablets to watch recorded TV programs, but since new iPad mini models have not appeared for a long time, they cut off their numbness, and this year's Huawei "Huawei""MediaPad M5 8.4" (after that, the 5th generation iPad mini appeared ...).

Moreover, since this model did not have an earphone terminal, it can be directly connected to USB Type-C, supports active noise canceling, and can be used with Huawei P30 if it is an earphone that can be used on Android devices.I thought, but even if I asked an audio writer, I had no choice but to hold my head saying "Type-C ...".

Nevertheless, two things I could find out were Xiaomi's noise canceling earphones and Razer's gaming earphones "HammerHead USB-Typec Anc".So I actually purchased these two and checked the performance.

It will be an impression of the author who is not particular about audio, but as for the sound quality, I wonder if Xiaomi's earphones are standard sounds, HammerHead USB-TypeC ANC is a bit strong in high notes.It was the impression that.On the other hand, the condition of the noise canceling is weaker than the Rayz Plus that we used so far, and the impression that the noise can be heard somewhat in places with loud noise.

If you want to be a little more resistant to noise canceling, there is still no big dissatisfaction, so I am currently using these earphones.However, in the first place, the USB Type-C earphone itself is very small, so if the number will increase a little more ...
